Chapter 68.2

In his study, where silence lingered, the sound of his door being banged rang.

Glenn turned his head with a slight frown.

He had told them over and over that he needed time to think alone.

Glenn gritted his teeth and asked.

“What is it?”

“My lord, it’s urgent!”

Said the person behind the door.

“Wait. I’ll be out in a minute.”

He even went as far as telling Gordon that he wanted to be alone, his servant to actually interrupt his rest…

He was in a state of grief from a broken heart, but he was not completely out of his mind.

Glenn, who instinctively felt a crisis, immediately rose.

A voice announcing disaster rang into his ear as he approached the door in a hurry.

“It’s a monster attack, my lord! M-Monsters are coming down from the north!”

*

“It’s about time they come. It’s nothing new, so there’s no need for everyone to be in a hurry.”

“Sir Giscard is right. We should act calmly.”

They had an untimely meeting.

Due to the monster attack that broke out for the first time in years, there was a sign of tension around the round table.

Giscard and other old knights who had experienced monster attacks several times tried to lighten the tension, but the anxious atmosphere had not disappeared.

Click.

Then, Glenn, the lord, entered the room with the sound of the door opening.

The bodies rose from their seats to greet him.

“You are here, my lord.”

“I heard the news roughly on the way. The Monster Gate was opened near the Yeres Mountains.”

“Yes, I think they’re monsters on the Northern borders.”

“Are there any victims?”

Adrian handed Glenn a report with a grim look on his face.

“There have been a few casualties, but the damage seems not to be a huge one because it is not a densely populated area.”

“But it won’t be long before a flock of monsters comes to a densely populated area.”

“I agree. We should not be late.”

“Is there anything else to discuss? Start preparing immediately. As soon as preparations are completed, we set out at once.”

It was a given conclusion. As soon as Glenn was about to assign orders to the knights,

“Glenn.”

“……!”

A very familiar voice came to his ears. A soft voice that didn’t suit the room full of men.

And the owner of the voice was the most awkward opponent Glenn faced at this moment.

He turned his eyes with a shudder on his shoulder.

“…I didn’t know you were here.”

“I’ve been here for a while. I’m qualified for this position, too.”

Strictly speaking, the role of the Marchioness was only to take good care of the household, but no one couldn’t say that Nadia was not qualified.

“Why don’t you take this opportunity to test the new unit?”

“Does the newly organized unit mean mounted archery and heavy cavalry?”

Archery was originally very difficult to train.

It took a considerable period of training to become proficient in horseback riding and to be able to move the upper body freely.

However, it was easier to balance on horseback if there were tools to support their feet.

It meant that they could train the archers on a large scale and in a short amount of time as well.

Glenn was planning to order the heavy cavalry as well as the mounted archery either way.

It seemed that it was time to test the power of what they had been invested in.

“Yes, there is a limit to training against a scarecrow.”

“That’s true.”

“I think it would be better to go through practical training before using it for the actual war.”

“In addition, there are no eyes watching near the Yeres Mountain, so we can keep this unit a secret.”

“That’s right. We can kill two birds with one stone.”

Nadia smiled and replied so. Glenn couldn’t find a shadow on her brightly smiling face.

The bright expression seemed to put an arrow in his heart. Glenn had to feel devastated once again.

‘This woman really is not interested in me!’

The fact that nothing she said today was fake.

Something seemed to rise near the pit of the stomach, but now was not the time to be swayed by personal feelings.

He had monsters to kill.

His eyes turned back to the map on the desk.
